I am for one really excited about the new AMG-GT S.

First time I see a really low weight AMG with a TT engine. Here is a article from top gear . Nice read
http://www.topgear.com/uk/car-news/m...view-2014-6-26

Sorry if the is posted already someplace else. Really hope that the moderators catch up with current/new AMG models...

Would make sense but that is a dead forum..

This is really my rant to the moderators that seem to use random logic in creating and maintaining sections. The new C63 (W205) isn't even out yet but it has it's own section. The new R231 SL63/65 have been out for a year; no mention. Same for the new S63/S65, owners are posting in the normal sedan section. No offense, but these are some of the coolest AMG's been build right now. Be nice to see them listed...

I think it is disgraceful that designers which no doubt get highly paid
can't come up with something new, instead on a thyme.
It doesn't need to look like a Zonda just a little bit more different.
C'mon designers you can do better than this.
